I have a bonsai, not sure on the species, I have had it about a month and the leaves are getting little black spots on them, going yellow and then dropping off. I thought it was black spot so I treated it with a fungicide, 2 days later it's 10x worse and there are black spots all over and even more leaves falling off... I need to do something quick or I'm afraid it's going to die!!

It came with a drip feed which was supposed to last weeks and it all went in a few days I was thinking of repotting it and replacing the soil but I didn't want to put any more stress onto it! Do you think it's black spot as well?

Don?t dunk it in water. Water properly, see the care guidelines.
Do not move the tree every few days. Keep it outside if the weather allows it.
The drip feed... what was in it?

Yup, stressed roots. Effectively, you create a very wet environment, with very little air by dunking it in a bucket of water. Then you allow the rootbal to go dry with a lot of air in it by not watering again for two weeks.A little like moving you between rainforest and desert continuously. Not good. As Auk said, have a read at how to care for your tree.
